"Cashing this fraudulent paper he
was soon at liberty, but scarcely was
the crime committed when he realized
its enormity, and without stopping to
think, distracted with grief and shame.
my brother, profting by his leave Of
absence, departed from Carlsbad and
from his country. My father, ignorant
of what had occurred, and incensed at
the use of his name, was furious when
the lettres de change which they had
drawn upon him began to come in, and
refusing to acknowledge the signatures,
pursued as forgers those who had pre-
scented them. In tracing them from
hand to hand, it was not long before
he discovered from whom they had
originated, and you can picture his de-
spair when he found it was his own son
who had issued them, and that he, his
father, had publicly dishonored him by
the inquiry set on foot. Satisfied of
this, notwithstanding his anger, my
| father sacrificed. his entire fortune to
| acquit these bills, and was even dis
| posed to pardon Henri, when he learned
/ the circumstances that had hurried him
/ into crime. But all our researches to
/ discover him were useless; my brother
had disappeared. Not even the adver-
| tisements constantly inserted in the pa
pers, to the effect that Comte de V. had
made a mistake in denying the sigma
| tures-that he admitted the bills and
had acquitted them as presented
| brought us any response. If alive Henri
/ had certainly seen them, and knowing
| that his honor was unstained would
| surely return to US Time passed on,
however, yet he did not return, and at
last we came to believe him dead, that
| perhaps in his despair and remorse he
had put an end to his life.
"You remember my establishment
when recognized him as the servant
at your table, and that he, no more
than l, could conceal his emotion.
After dinner, as you also remember,
went to see him, resolved to force him
to return to his family. The idea that
he had killed himself to escape dishOn-
| or had long appeased the Indignation
| of my father; l knew that he longed for
| his return. But Henri was intlexible;
| resume a name that he had shown him
self unworthy to bear he positively
would not, and l was forced to promise
not only never to reveal the secret to
you as long as he lived, but to con-
tinue to conceal the fact of his exist
ence from my father; it was useless to
renew blow and grief that time had
somewhat softened.
Il yielded, and the recital that 1
have SO willingly made to you to-day is
due to the fact that my brother is dead,
that l am carrying out his wishes; and
it has no other end than to prevent re-
searches which you might otherwise
have made, and that, coming to the
ears of my father, would trouble the
repOse of his last days"
Truth has a power" murmured the
General, ''truth has power to which
fiction can never pretend. - Translated

by n broad, heavy white belt. The
shoulders are ornamented with epau-
lets of thick, soft white ribbon bows.
The latest black lace dresses are
made by sewing alternate strips of
lace inserting two inches wide and
black MORE ribbon of the same width.
The fabric formed in this wayis draped
diagonally across the MORE undertakes
in front and straight in the back. The
waist is shirred across the shoulders
and about the neck over a tight silk
lining and gathered to a point at the
belt line.
Similar lace dresses are made in
white and draped over either white
moire or white surah. In these white

skirts that are past the prime. The

rows of ribbon and is nowhere draped

basque, over which tho null is gathered
high in the throat, held there by three
rows Of libhon. There are no sleeves,
and the glaYes are white. ~ 7, Hortd.

Fortune and Happiness lost by a Single

We have all some sad moments in our
lives, sad secrets that are not immoral or
criminal or any thing like that, says a
writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, tut
simply moments of unhappy accident tr
painful stupidity. Don't you recolIect, for
instance, the time when your best girl want
ed you To take her to the theater and you
wrote to her you were were sick and con-
fined to your bed, and her younger brother
told her next morning he had been out at
prize-fight with you?
Don't you remember, and kick yourself
when you think of it, the time you wanted
to show her the pretty letter you had from
your mother about her, and you gave her
instead dunning note from the jeweler
for the handsome bracelet you gave her as
a present on the Christmas before? There
are worse eontretemps that you recollect
occasionally, l know, but they would not
look pretty in print
am reminded Of the subject by the abb
sent-mindedness of a fellow who dressed
himself u,0 in his best and went one even
ing to call upon the pretty daughter Of 9
rich man, upon whose fortune he was
building great hopes of future happiness.
He rang the bell, handed his card and was
shown into the parlor. In minute the
old gentleman himself came down with the
card in his hand.
eve are very glad to see you, Mr.. Jones,
but 1 don't think you intended this card
for u.s."

IN parliaraentary language you may
say that man is not welded to the
truth;
Or sometimes suffers from a spirit OF
eXaggeration;
Or occasionally finds it difficult to con-
dne himself strictly to actualities;
Or is unfsttered by the four corners OF
hard matters of facts;
Or is past master in the pleasing art
of realistically romansing;
Or is partial, in describing nature, to
borrowing from the pages of romance;
Or is much given to an artificial recol-
lection of misleading S tatis tics;
Or can not distinguish the false from
The true, with a bias toward the former !;
Or has distinct liking for the utter
ance of statements of misleading char
acter;
But yet you must notl No, you must
not! You really must not Call him a Hart

A. first the watch was about the size of a
dessert plate. 1t had weights and was used
as a ''pocket clock" The earliest known
use of the modern name occurs in the
record of 1862, which mentions that Ed
ward VI, had Zone larum" or watch of
iron, the case being likewise or iron gilt,
with two pummets of lead. The first
watch may readily be supposed to be of rude
execution. The first great improve
ment-the substitution of springs for
weights-8ils in 1860. The earliest springs
were not coiled, but only straight pieces of
steel. Early watches had only one hand,
and, being wound up twice a day, they
could not be expected to keep the time
nearer than fifteen or twenty minutes in
twelve hours. The dials were of silver and
brass; the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and were
four or five inches in diameter. A plain
watch cost more than 81 800, and after one
was ordered it took year to make it.

THE MARvELS OF MUD.
Wonderful Creatures That Thrive at the
Bottom of the Sea.
It was a pawn-ticket.

Wonderful Creatures That Thrive at the
Bottom of the Sea.
I never tire of examining through the
microscope some bit of ocean mud, re-
marks a writer in the Hartford
CouFGnt, for in it am constantly finding
some remarkable form of shell. They are
often spined, sometimes they are smooth
and polished as the best glazed chinaware;
at times they are pure white, then
again they are banded and
striped with every hue of the rain
bow. It seems a pity that such beauties
should be so small and hidden so far from
the eyes of men. On this great bed of
mud the most remarkable creatures live
in vast numbers. There are serpent-like
starfshes, beautiful branching corals,
ugly black fishes, pure white "sea-cucum-
bers," bright pink, purple and red sea-
anemones, and host of other creatures.
The fishes aye always strange and I'M
couth, with huge mouths and stomachs
all in one, but with the tail hardly notice
able. When the fishes are brought to the
surface their air bladders and stomachs
protrude from their mouths, their eyes
bulge out, and the blood is forced through
the skin. Life has been crushed out of
them by the sudden change of pressure,
Che gases within having burst the tissues
and body walls asunder. The tremendous
pressure of the water was well shown by
towering an empty bottle, which was

THE LAST JOURNEY

One other journey, oh my love-
One more for us to share;
Again across the blooming land
Together we shall fare.
The happy days come back to me
When first we went away;
W9tOo, we only, side by side,
That blessed wedding day.
All mel how rapid were the wheels;
How swift the radiant hours;
How dear the shy and tender looks;
How sweet the bridal flowers.
Year after year we went again,
But never more alone;
With little links OF childish life
That bound US to our own
The clinging hands, the baby words,
The losses and the gain,
The anxious, faithful mother-heart
That solaced every pain.
No more alone, yet dearer far
Than tenderest solicitude;
The gathering OF that flock beloved,
The mother with her brood.
And nowi How silent are thy lips;
How still, without their smile;
No word OF mine, no thought of thine
That silence shall beguile.
How close those serious eyes are shut;
The white lids lift no more;
No living look OF love OF peace,
No glance at sea or shore.
Art thou not here? so near, so far.
Thy face / can not see.
Here, and yet hidden from my sight
Oh God how can it be?
Our long last journey. She and
Together, yet apart;
Homeward and graveyard; she at rest;
with my breaking heart

The science Of surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times, that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken aud carried to a sueg
cessful issue. There are now several WEI
authenticated cases of what is knSwn -
pneumotony, that is to say, the removal Of
diseased portions of the lungs in cases on
consumption. While, however, this delicate
operation has sometimes been successfully
performed, the risks attending it are sc
great, and the chances of recovery SO slight,
that it is seldom resorted to. The safest
plan in consumptive cases is to use Or.
Piel ce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
will always cure the disease IN its earlier
stages, thoroughly arresting the ravages OF
the terrible malady, by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.
